A Wondrous Body, Born with Secret Script
Is it a test, or even a trial?
Fang Shu accompanied Xiao Lili as they walked towards the quiet room in the Solitary Gu Hall.
His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, trying to figure out the Lone Pavilion Master's intentions.
But he quickly dismissed the thought in his mind, "No, it's not a test or trial, but a 'reward'!"
Even if he did his best to help Xiao Lili, according to what the Lone Pavilion Master said, and according to Fang Shu's perspective, this matter was still a matter of life and death.
Otherwise, Xiao Lili's problems wouldn't have dragged on until now; Xiao Hu would have resolved the matter for his daughter long ago.
Such failure is to be expected; success is merely a fluke. To use it as a test would be incredibly unwise of the old woman.
Moreover, even with all the trials, Fang Shu will soon be able to successfully ascend the mountain and leave Guling Town. Even if the Lone Pavilion Master still has benefits, they cannot compare to joining Immortal Sect.
If setting up a test for a mere outsider were to hinder the relationship between master and disciple, it might only be a pity for Fang Shu, but for the Lone Pavilion Master, it would clearly be an unnecessary move.
Let's consider it from the perspective of "rewards".
If Xiao Lili succeeds in this matter, Fang Shu will gain her gratitude. This woman will owe him an enormous favor, and repaying her with her body would be nothing more than a rebirth.
Even if things fail, Fang Shu will still reap a bountiful harvest of medicinal ginseng without incurring any karmic consequences for avenging this woman. As long as the three of them keep the matter secret, there will be no trouble at all.
Even if it were leaked, it would only Ling Baiquan somewhat jealous of him for getting a good deal.
As he pondered this in his heart, Fang Shu thought to himself:
"Master's intention is probably to come with me. Let's see if I want the person or the medicine."
It didn't force me to choose; it was entirely up to my own will and thoughts.
Realizing this, he felt relieved.
However, even after he led Xiao Lili into the quiet room, he still couldn't make a decision.
"Lili, Fang Shu, I've prepared everything for you."
At this moment, Du Yu'er was already waiting in the quiet room.
She was standing in front of a large bathtub filled with hot water, and a medicinal aroma wafted through the quiet room, indicating that the hot water in the tub was unusual.
In addition, Talisman were affixed to the outside of the bath tub to ensure continuous heating and maintain the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside.
Du Yu'er wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, cast an encouraging look at Xiao Lili, walked over, touched her hand, and said gently, "Keep up the good work, don't let your uncle down."
Xiao Lili lowered her head, her eyes still slightly red, and nodded heavily.
Du Yu'er looked at Fang Shu again, sighed softly, and didn't say anything to explain, only whispering, "Junior Brother, just do your best."
Immediately afterward, the woman left the meditation room and removed the restrictions outside.
In the silence, only Fang Shu and Xiao Lili remained together.
The two, a man and a woman alone together, felt a little awkward for a moment.
Xiao Lili's body was now almost unrecognizable, but she was still a woman and found it difficult to talk about it.
Fang Shu looked around and said, "Remove anything that might obstruct the spellcasting."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lili breathed a sigh of relief and obediently took off all her clothes and belongings, along with her last few valuables, and placed them in a corner of the quiet room.
Finally, she stood in front of Fang Shu with her head down, unconsciously covering herself with her hands.
Aside from a touch of shyness, the woman's cheeks were now unusually flushed. She was quite self-conscious at the moment, afraid that her current appearance and form would provoke Fang Shu's disgust and aversion.
Fang Shu made no attempt to hide his feelings, carefully examining the woman's figure before him.
With her thin limbs and large belly, she was as thin as a rake, and her face was like a skull. It would be better to call her a starving ghost than a human.
"I've heard that those who starve to death become hungrier the more they eat, and they won't stop even when their bellies are bursting," Fang Shu thought to himself.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of his own family and this woman's father, although there were some grievances, Xiao Hu was already dead. In addition, this woman's previous way of dealing with people had both good and bad aspects, which was different from her father Xiao Hu.
"Let her be, and see what fate has in store for her." Fang Shu finally made up his mind.
It's just an ordinary spirit medicine; this woman isn't a bad person, and hasn't harmed anyone yet.
Furthermore, Fang Shu had already received a reward from the Lone Pavilion Master. Such spirit medicine was not a rare medicine that could help him cultivate Divine Sense or Refining Qi. It was not worth him ruining his own character and deliberately harming others.
However, Fang Shu only intended to follow his master's instructions and do his best, but he wouldn't put his heart into it.
He treated this as a task to be completed.
Immediately, at Fang Shu's instruction, Xiao Lili laboriously climbed into the bathtub on her own.
Fang Shu didn't offer to help him up; he simply undressed and removed all his outer garments.
According to the instructions of the Lone Pavilion Master, he needed to use his yang Qi and Blood to help the ginseng in Xiao Lili's body mature. At that time, his Qi and Blood would also be stimulated by the Yin Qi of the ginseng and become extremely hot.
Removing his outer garments and other embellishments could save him some trouble.
Fang Shu, being a man with no shameful flaws or inferiority complexes, and too lazy to be coy, naturally followed his master's advice.
With a splash, he fell into the bathtub.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bathtub, before he even began casting the spell, waves of heat surged from Fang Shu's body, making his muscles swell and his whole body feel tense.
Sitting in the water, Xiao Lili felt the intense heat in front of her, as if she were in a furnace. Her whole body turned red, and she dared not look up at Fang Shu.
As Fang Shu's fingers probed her body inch by inch, she bit her lip tightly, afraid that she might let out a soft moan.
Such a beautiful scene left Xiao Lili in a daze, as if in a dream.
But Fang Shu, standing in front of her, had a serious and earnest expression.
Upon catching a glimpse of this scene, Xiao Lili immediately felt ashamed and dared not make any further moves, fearing even more that she would incur Fang Shu's displeasure.
Immediately.
After a thorough examination, Fang Shu focused his attention on Xiao Lili's abdomen, and his vital Qi and Blood began to permeate her body.
Soon, a sense of surprise arose in Fang Shu's heart.
The roots and tendrils of the ginseng were indeed like a fine net, completely enveloping Xiao Lili's entire body, and were completely indistinguishable from her internal organs, meridians, and Bloodline.
A ginseng root shaped like a human figure, bright red in color, was hidden inside the woman's belly, full of vitality and spiritual energy!
In Fang Shu's perception, these roots and the medicinal ginseng were more like the main body of this physical form.
In particular, at first glance, this scene even has a touch of breathtaking beauty, with a rhythm flowing within it.
This scene immediately captivated Fang Shu, drawing him completely into the moment.
Even the Dao Register in his mind trembled slightly, Dao Register it immediately recorded the diagram of Xiao Lili's meridians and roots.
"This is... Mystic Script?!" Fang Shu stared intently, his heart leaping with excitement.
